Comenity Bank – Who Are They & What They Do?

Comenity Bank is a credit as well as debit card issuer of leading retailers and eminent corporations. Headquartered in Columbus, OH, the bank also offers underwriting and fund purchase services. The business was once known as World Financial Network Bank but re-branded itself in 2012 as Comenity Bank. It is a subsidiary of Alliance Data Systems Corporation.

Comenity Bank claims that they have been connecting customers with their beloved brands from the past 30 years, and further has a portfolio of nearly 150 retailers to prove it. The company’s leading retailers include Victoria’s Secret, HSN, Ulta Beauty, Bed Bath & Beyond, New York & Company, West Elm, Ann Taylor, Crate & Barrel, and many more.

Its in-house collection and billing department has been receiving complaints from consumers. They complain about financial crimes and threats received from the bank’s representatives. There are thousands of unrelenting calls made through various phone numbers to unsuspecting victims daily. These complaints amount to debt collection harassment.

With a website that hosts about 50 million card users daily, receiving harassment complaints from customers and being linked to alleged scams are too serious to ignore. Comenity Bank‘s official website claims that they are providing true standards of services. Their award-winning Care Center Services are also up to the mark. Yet, the Better Business Bureau (BBB) fails to recognize this claim. BBB is still unable to resolve principal causes of the continuous pattern of complaints against them.

What are the complaints about? Consumer targeting and repeated unsolicited telephone calls. In cases of debt collection, the bank keeps on calling even when asked to stop. This intrusion of privacy amounts to phone harassment. The Federal Communications Act, specifically 47 U.S. Code § 223 prohibits this act as per law.
